RE: Comparison. II, Contributed by @Olawalium

in #motivation6 years ago

Don’t wish to have another person’s life, because you don’t know what they have gone through. Wishing for their life means downloading all their troubles too. There is no shortcut. There is no glory without a story attached to it.

I really like the topic debating on today, some people are like that in life, they want straight swap deal wanted to swap there life with someone else.without knowing what the person have past through.

but my question is that is there a glory without story, I don't think so.

Because in this life we are there is no “going to” without a “going through”. There is no delivery without a conception. There is no destination without a route. There is no product without a process. There is no shining gold without a refining. There is no rain without some dark cloud. The life of every man is sandwiched between a process and a product, between a pain at a time and a profit afterwards, sometimes failures at the beginning and tremendous success at the other side. even bible says this in the (1 Peter 5:10) From my keen observation, there are two categories of subconscious misconception that we draw up as humans when we meet other fellows in a particular situation of life. First, if the fellow is making it big, having almost everything working for him, we draw up a conclusion in our mind that he has always been making it and we tend to compare our own lives by asking questions: Why is my life not like the life of this fellow. Is it not the same God that created both of us especially if you are going through some tough times. Second, if the other fellow we meet appears to have his life as the seeming head office of all life’s problems – frustration, failures, hardship etc. We sometimes conclude that is the way he will forever remain by our attitude and action towards such fellow e.g. we distance ourselves from them directly or indirectly. Jesus said I am He that liveth but before you conclude that I’ve always been living let me also announce to you that I was once dead. By interpretation: I’m he that is successful now but I was once a failure in my life. I’m he that is being celebrated now by all and sundry but I was once an object of ridicule, mockery and rejection by friends and acquittances. I’m he that is fruitful now as a mother but I was once barren like Sarah, Elizabeth and Hanna. I’m he that is now a owner of corporation but may I tell you that I was once looking for job at the doorsteps of every company in town. Every man will need to pass through these two critical stages of life. Jesus went further to say, “And behold, I am alive for evermore.” Every time God turns a man’s story to glory, from being dead to being alive, from being a failure to being a success. If it is God that actually did it then it remains forever because He’s the only and authentic STORY CHANGER.

Wow. Lovely. Yes, our approach and attitude matters a whole lot and it determines how we see comparison. It helps us to turn our weakness to strength and trust the One with the master plan; God, and by taking deliberate steps.

I love this also:

Spot on.
